114. Demand for the Realization of God’s Presence

O Divine Father, Thou art just behind my prayer — but why dost Thou seem so far away? Thou dost tremble through my feelings, and Thy presence pushes through the veil of my thoughts, yet Thou seemest so far away. Come, Father, take away the veil! Come, Father, come! Listen to the voice of my prayer. I want to know Thee. I want to talk to Thee. I want to hear Thee speak to me. I want to pray to Thee, and know that Thou dost hear my prayer. Show me the way that leads to Thee.
